I worked many winters in the state forests cutting shingle bolts to be cut into shingles on just that type of machine, made By Chase of Orange, Mass. It was cool to watch the shingles made but it sure took a lot of bolts to make a square of shingles!

The only thing I disliked about the job was cutting in the thick stands of trees..... I never saw the sunlight so it was cold if you goofed off long!.
